In farmers families that use wood
for fuel there is constant accumula-
ton of ashes that possess high fertil-
izing value, and should be spread from
time to time so as to get the benefit of
their virtues rather than allow them to
accumulate and deteriorate in quality
by being stored in the cellar or other
places. They are especially valuable
for spreading about fruit trees of all
kinds, or small fruits, and their use for
this purpose is probably as valuable as
any that they can be put to. Do not
waste the ashes, even if they are coal
ashes. Boston Globe.
